WILLIAM   SMITH   CLARK,    M.  A.,   Ph.D.,    LL.D.,    son   of  Dr. 

Atherton  and  Harriet  (Smith)  Clark,  was  born  31st  July,  1826, 
at  Ashfield,  Mass.  He  prepared  for  college  at  Williston  Semi- 
nnry,  Easthampton,  and  entered  Amherst  College  in  1844,  gradu- 
ating in  1848.  He  taught  the  natural  sciences  at  Williston  Semi- 
njiry  from  1848-50  and  then  went  abroad  and  studied  chemistry 
and  botany  at  Goettingen,  Ger.,  1850-52,  taking  the  degree  of 
Ph.D.  at  Goettingen,  1852.  Was  Professor  of  Chemistry,  Bot- 
any, and  Zoology  at  Amherst  College,  1852-58,  and  of  Chemistry,

1876-77.  In  1879-80  he  was  made  president  of  a  floating  college, 
which  enterprise,  owing  to  the  death  of  its  originator,  Mr.  Wood- 
ruff, was  abandoned.  Subsequently  he  turned  his  attention  to 
mining  operations. 

When  the  war  broke  out  in  1861,  Mr.  Clark  was  commissioned 
Major,  21st  Mass.  Vols.,  becoming  Lt.  Col.  in  1862,  and  Col- 
onel the  same  year.  Fie  took  part  in  the  battles  of  Roanoke 
Island,  Newburn,  Camden,  second  battle  of  Bull  Run,  Chan- 
tilly,  the  Antietam  and  Fredericksburg.  It  was  at  the  battle  of 
Chantilly,  that  losing  his  way  and  becoming  separated  from  the 
regiment,  accompanied  b}^  only  a  handful  of  men,  he  was  sur- 
rounded by  the  rebels  and  ordered  to  surrender.  Preferring  to 
run  every  risk  rather  than  encounter  the  horrors  of  Anderson- 
ville  or  Libby,  a  desperate  effort  \\as  made  to  escape,  but  all  were 
shot  down  except  himself.  Bullets  whistled  through  his  cap  and 
clothing,  but  unhurt,  he  reached  the  cover  of  the  woods  and  lay 
concealed  within  the  enemy's  lines  for  three  days,  suffering  from

hunger  and  exposure,  until  finally  he  reached  the  union  forces 
in  safety  and  was  welcomed  as  one  returned  from  the  dead,  for 
he  had  been  reported  among  the  fallen.

lege  in  1844,  and  was  graduated  in  1848.  After  leaving  college 
he  devoted  himself  to  civil  engineering,  and  served  his  apprentice- 
ship upon  the  Hoosac  Tunnel  and  Troy  &  Boston  Railroad.  Re- 
moving to  the  west,  he  became  engaged  as  engineer  in  the  survey

HENRY  JAMES  CLARK,  B.A.,  B.Sc.,  the  first  professor  of  Natu- 
ral History  at  the  Mass.  Agricultural  College,  was  the  son  of  Rev. 
Henry  Porter  and  Abigail  Jackson  (Orton)  Clark,  and  was  born 
22d  June,  1826,  at  Easton,  Mass.  His  father  removed  to  Brook- 
lyn, N.  Y.,  where  he  lived  many  years  and  where  his  son  received 
much  of  his  early  training.  He  received  his  collegiate  education 
at  the  University  of  the  City  of  New  York,  graduating  B.  A.,  in 
1848.  Immediately  after  leaving  college  he  taught  for  some  time 
at  White  Plains,  N.  Y.  He  commenced  the  study  of  botany 
under  Dr.  Asa  Gray,  at  Cambridge,  in  1850.  While  a  student  at 
the  Botanic  Garden,  he  taught  in  the  academy  at  Westfield,  Mass., 
for  a  single  term,  apparently  achieving  much  success  as  a  teacher, 
and  forming  life-long  friendships.  Soon  after  this  he  became  a 
student  of  Professor  Agassiz,  and  for  several  years  was  his  pri- 
vate assistant.  Professor  Agassiz,  early  in  1857,  spoke  of  him 
enthusiastically,  remarking  to  a  friend,  "Clark  has  become  the 
most  accurate  observer  in  the  country."  He  graduated  from  the 
Lawrence  Scientific  School,  Cambridge,  in  1854,  taking  the  de- 


104  MASSACHUSETTS  AGRICULTURAL  COLLEGE. 

gree  of  B.Sc.  Between  1856  and  1863  he  was  associated  with 
Agassiz  in  the  preparation  of  the  anatomical  and  embryological 
portions  of  the  "Contribution  to  the  Natural  History  of  the  United 
States."  In  June,  1860  he  was  appointed  adjunct  Professor  of 
Zoology  in  Harvard  University,  which  he  held  until  the  expiration 
of  his  term  of  office  in  1865.  He  gave  a  course  of  lectures  on  his- 
tology at  the  Museum  of  Comparative  Zoology,  Cambridge,  in 
1861,  and  delivered  a  course  of  twelve  lectures  on  "Mind  in 
Nature  ;  or  the  Origin  of  Life,  and  the  Mode  of  Development  of 
Animals,"  at  the  Lowell  Institute,  Boston,  in  1864.  He  was 
appointed  Professor  of  Botany,  Zoology,  and  Geology,  in  the 
Agricultural  College  of  Pennsylvania,  in  December,  1<S66.  Here 
he  remained  until  April,  1869,  when  he  was  appointed  to  the 
chair  of  Natural  History  of  the  University  of  Kentucky.  He 
lived  at  Lexington,  Kentucky,  until  February,  1872,  when  he  was 
elected  Professor  of  Comparative  Anatomy  and  Veterinary  Sci- 
ence in  the  Massachusetts  Agricultural  College.  Busy  with  his 
work  at  Amherst,  and  struggling  with  the  fatal  disease,  tabes 
mesenterica,  he  wasted  away,  and  died  on  the  1st  July,  1873,  in 
the  forty-eighth  year  of  his  age.  He  was  a  member  of  most  of 
the  learned  societies  in  this  country,  while  his  works  have  been 
recognized  and  referred  to  by  the  leading  zoologists  of  Europe. 

In  1856  he  was  elected  a  fellow  of  the  American  Academy  of 
Arts  and  Sciences,  and  in  1870,  an  associate  fellow  of  the  same. 
In  1857  he  became  a  member  of  the  Boston  Society  of  Natural 
History.  In  1865  he  was  chosen  a  corresponding  member  of  the 
American  Microscopical  Society  ;  in  1866,  corresponding  member 
of  the  Essex  Institute,  and  in  1868,  correspondent  of  the  Phila- 
delphia Academy  of  Natural  Sciences.  In  1872  he  was  elected  a 
member  of  the  National  Academy  of  Sciences,  which,  at  that  time, 
was  limited  in  membership  to  fifty  of  the  foremost  scientists  of  the 
country. 

He  married,  29th  September,  1854,  at  Boston,  Mary  Young 
Holbrook.  Seven  of  their  eight  children  are  living,  one  daughter 
having  died  in  infancy. 

Mr.  Clarke's  first  love  for  science  seems  to  have  grown  from 
his  fondness  for  flowers.  After  he  became  a  student  of  zoology 
his  love  for  botany  remained  undimiuished.  "The  influence  of 
his  knowledge  of  botany  on  his  zoological  studies  was  marked. 
It  prepared  him  for  his  studies  on  spontaneous  generation,  on  the

theory  of  the  cell,  on  the  structure  of  the  protozoa  and  the 'nature 
of  protoplasm.  In  the  use  of  the  microscope  he  showed  not  only 
mechanical  skill  and  ingenuity,  but  a  patience,  caution,  and  expe- 
rience in  difficult  points  in  histology,  which  undoubtedly  placed 
him  at  the  head  of  observers  in  this  country,  and  rendered  him, 
perhaps,  inferior  to  few  in  Europe.  He  used  the  highest  powers 
with  a  skill  that  few  if  any  living  observers  have  surpassed.  His 
worfc  entitled  '  Mind  in  Nature '  is,  in  all  respects,  for  its  usually 
sound  and  clear  thinking,  its  breadth  of  view,  and  the  amount  of 
original  work  it  contains,  perhaps  the  most  remarkable  general 
zoological  work  as  yet  produced  in  this  country.  If  the  author 
had  left  us  no  other  work,  this  alone  would  testify  to  years  of  the 
severest  labor  and  independent  thought.  It  anticipated  certain 
points  in  histology,  and  the  structure  of  the  Protozoa  and  sponges 
especially,  which  have  made  the  succeeding  labors  of  some  Euro- 
pean observers  notable."  Dr.  A.  S.  Packard.  Jr.,  in  a  Memoir 
read  before  the  National  Academy  of  Sciences,  in  1874,  speaks  of 
Mr.  Clark  as  follows:  k-  Within  the  year  past  we  have  lost  a 
member  who  may  be  said,  without  disparagement  to  others  labor- 
ino-  in  the  same  field,  to  have  been  the  foremost  American  histolo- 

O 

gist  and  microscopist,  and  one  of  our  most  skilful  and  accom- 
plished biologists  ;  one  the  rule  of  whose  scientific  life  was  a 
practical  application  of  experimental  philosophy.  A  true  natu- 
ralist, he  was  an  enthusiast,  and  yet  in  his  methods  of  study 
severe,  exact,  and  in  all  respects  scholarly."

-CHRONOLOGY. 


The  first  effort  to  establish  in  Massachusetts  an  institution 
where  scientific  and  practical  agriculture  should  be  taught,  was 
made  in  1849,  by  Hon.  Marshall  P.  Wilder,  in  an  address  deliv- 
ered in  September  of  that  year,  before  the  Norfolk  Agricultural 
Society  upon  the  subject  of  agricultural  education.  The  sugges- 
tions contained  in  this  address  were  received  with  so  much  favor, 
that  the  following  year  (1850)  a  bill  was  prepared  providing  for 
the  establishment  of  an  agricultural  college  and  an  experimental 
farm.  This  bill  passed  the  Senate  without  a  dissenting  vote  but 
was  rejected  in  the  House.  The  next  step  was  the  creation  of  a 
Board  of  Commissioners,  whose  duty  should  be  to  report,  at  the 
next  session  of  the  legislature,  upon  the  expediency  of  establish- 
ing agricultural  schools  or  colleges.  This  commission  which  con- 
sisted of  Marshall  P.  Wilder,  Edward  Hitchcock  and  others,  made 
their  report  to  the  legislature  in  1851.  This  report  embraced  the 
investigations  of  Dr.  Hitchcock  in  regard  to  the  agricultural 
schools  and  colleges  of  Europe,  and  contained  an  account  of  more 
than  350  of  these  institutions.  Nothing  further  was  done  towards 
organizing  a  college  of  agriculture  till  1856.  In  that  year  several 
of  the  gentlemen  who  had  been  most  active  in  the  project  for 
planting  a  college,  now  associated  together  for  the  establishment 
of  a  school,  and  obtained  an  act  of  incorporation  under  the  title 
of  the  Massachusetts  School  of  Agriculture.  Of  the  persons 
named  in  this  Act,  the  name  of  Marshall  P.  Wilder  heads  the  list. 
In  1860,  its  charter  was  transferred  to  several  enterprising  citi- 
zens of  Springfield,  who  determined  to  raise  by  subscription  $75,- 
000  for  the  opening  of  the  school  in  that  city,  relying  upon  the 
legislature  for  a  further  endowment.  This  project  would  probably 
have  succeeded,  had  not  the  call  to  arms  absorbed  public  atten- 
tion. In  1858,  Hon.  Justin  S.  Merrill,  representative  from  Ver_

mont,  submitted  a  bill  to  Congress,  donating  a  portion  of  the 
public  lands  for  the  endowment  of  a  college  in  each  state,  to  teach 
such  branches  of  learning  as  are  related  to  agriculture  and  the 
mechanic  arts.  This  bill,  after  prolonged  discussions  for  two  ses- 
sions, passed  both  houses  of  Congress,  but  was  vetoed  by  Presi- 
dent James  Buchanan.  The  measure  was  finally  enacted  July  2,

To  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Massachusetts  Agricultural  College  : 

GENTLEMEN, — In  preparing  this  edition  of  the  Acts,  both  national 
and  state,  relating  to  the  Agricultural  College,  your  committee  have 
followed  the  arrangement  that  is  adopted  by  the  Commissioner  of  Cor- 
porations of  Massachusetts,  in  arranging  the  Corporation  Acts.  The 
various  amendments  and  modifications  are  inserted  with  that  portion 
of  the  principal  Act  to  which  they  refer,  but  in  such  a  way  that  the 
original  Act  can  be  seen  as  unmodified,  and  also  in  its  modified  form. 
Sections  and  parts  of  sections,  however,  which  relate  to  matters  that 
have  been  accomplished,  are  omitted  ;  also,  all  State  Acts  or  Resolves 
relating  to  appropriations  which  have  been  fulfilled,  are  omitted. 

Provisions  enclosed  by  brackets,  thus,  [  ]  have  been  superseded 
or  repealed.  Important  provisions  are  printed  in  italics.
